Parallel Ming Dynasty: The more he compared, the more devastated Zhu Yuanzhang became.

Chinese language is something that ordinary people can understand;

Mathematics, also known as arithmetic, is something that everyone can understand.

When ordinary people first came into contact with physics and chemistry, they regarded them as trickery and heresy, which initially attracted a lot of resistance and dissatisfaction.

However, because the school not only did not charge tuition fees, but also provided three meals a day, many families did not dare to express their resentment.

It wasn't until the students at the school had studied systematically that they gradually came to understand what physics and chemistry really were.

That is to explore the fundamental principles of how heaven, earth, nature, and all things operate.

The many items developed at the Peace Technology Research Institute are all based on these two disciplines as their core theoretical foundation.

As students became more familiar with physics and chemistry day after day, their enthusiasm for learning these subjects exploded.

Even while still in school, many students were already tinkering with all sorts of novel and interesting objects.

These novel items, once delivered to the Peace Trading Company, could be exchanged for real gold and silver commensurate with their value.

It was through this initiative that students developed an even greater enthusiasm for learning physics and chemistry, and the entire Ming Dynasty, riding this wave, ushered in an unprecedented period of ideological innovation and progress.

All of this truly fulfilled the vision that Zhu Duo had made during his deep conversation with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Even if there are 10,000 people, and each of them only possesses one percent of my creative ability, their combined power would be hundreds or thousands of times stronger than mine alone.

This year was also known by all students as the year of awakening.

Even before establishing modern schools, Zhu Duo had already been systematically and step-by-step promoting the liberation of women's status.

Why were women not allowed to attend school in this feudal era?

Ultimately, the reasons can be broadly categorized into five points.

1. The rule that men and women should not touch each other has, since ancient times, drawn extremely strict boundaries in social etiquette. For women, this is an inviolable principle.

2. The outdated notion that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent is deeply ingrained. Young ladies from prestigious families, if they were to appear in public, would be destined to remain unmarried.

3. Confucius once said, "Of all the people in the world, only petty men and women are difficult to deal with." With just one sentence, he completely shut women out of the door to reading and learning.

4. People generally believe that it is of no benefit for women to study, but rather a waste of the family's money, and that it is not worthwhile to seek books and education for them.

5. Daughters are like water spilled from a cup; the traditional Chinese concept of valuing sons over daughters was deeply ingrained, and people believed that even if a woman achieved great success in her studies, she would eventually marry into another family.

The reason why these five reasons have been passed down for thousands of years and are deeply rooted in the world is because there is a fertile ground that nurtures them.

That is the patriarchal social system that has lasted for thousands of years.

The core reason for the formation of a patriarchal society is that men can create far greater productive value than women, especially in ancient agrarian societies where physical labor was the primary means of production.

Especially during years of food shortages and hunger, the notion that women are useless becomes all the more jarring and deeply ingrained in people's minds.

For this reason, the first issue Zhu Duo addressed was the food problem, which was crucial to the national economy and people's livelihood.

Only by solving this core problem can we gradually solve the other problems one by one.

In addition, the textile factory opened by Zhu Duo's Heping Trading Company specifically recruited only female workers, so that women could earn money through their own abilities, prove their own value, and thus gradually improve the status of women in the world.

Gradually wear down the male chauvinism in men's bones, and let men all over the world see that in many professions, women's skills are far superior to men's.

All of this was a carefully laid out strategy by Zhu Duo, step by step.

If we want the Ming Dynasty to become the undisputed empire on which the sun never sets in this era, we must awaken the minds of the entire population. For this reason, these are the necessary paths that must be paved and walked!

As they watched the barrage of comments from the people of the new world on the screen, the people of the original world were overflowing with jealousy.

Even though they still cannot accept the idea of ​​girls attending school, they feel an endless envy for the prosperity of the new world where everyone can study.

Regardless of wealth or social status, everyone can attend school and study. Studying is no longer just for passing the imperial examinations and gaining fame and fortune. The knowledge gained can be put to great use in all walks of life.

Not to mention, even if you're still studying in school, as long as you can come up with good ideas and creative concepts, you can still earn real money through your own abilities.

Who wouldn't yearn for and envy such a wonderful thing?

-

The scene suddenly shifts, and Zhu Duo in the shot has shed his youthful naiveté and begun to show his talent. He has a handsome face, and his brows reveal an undeniable heroic spirit and decisiveness, making him look exactly like a dashing young general.

Zhu Duo, accompanied by several loyal close subordinates and the foreman of the textile factory, inspected the textile factory area under the name of Heping Trading Company.

Shuttles, spinning frames, cotton gins... a whole set of new textile machines are operating at high speed and in an orderly manner, emitting regular sounds.

The arrival of this handsome young man caused the older female workers in the textile factory to steal a few glances, but they quickly looked away and continued to focus on their work.

But the young girls, just blossoming into womanhood and experiencing the first stirrings of love, couldn't bear to look away. They were soon scolded in hushed tones by their elders, who told them to watch their words and actions and to behave properly. Only then did they reluctantly turn their gaze away, blushing.

The female workers in the factory area moved back and forth in the workshop, operating various textile machines with skillful and efficient movements.

When Zhu Duo walked to each workstation, he would ask a few words of concern in a gentle voice or inquire about the daily work situation, and the female workers would always answer fluently and clearly.

In terms of the dexterity and agility of the fingertips, it must be said that this is a talent that men can never match, a talent unique to women.

{Original World: We all know that women are naturally skilled at weaving, but we never imagined that this textile factory would be entirely populated by women! So many women are managing to earn money through their own abilities?!}

On the screen, people from the original world exclaimed in amazement.

{New World: That's not all! These female workers earn more per month than most men in the market. The money earned working in a textile factory is hundreds or even thousands of times better than a lifetime of toiling in the fields!}

{New World: And don't be fooled by the fact that this textile factory is full of women; many of the managers and supervisors here are graduates of modern colleges.}

The Peace Trading Company has always encouraged everyone to read and learn. Even those who haven't had much formal education can still have significant opportunities for advancement as long as they possess strong technical skills and abilities.

{New World: To be honest, everything His Highness Zhu Duo has done is for the sake of making our people's lives better and enabling them to make continuous progress.}

After touring the entire textile factory area, Zhu Duo led his group to a workshop called "Peace Workshop".

The artisans here are busy crafting a strange-looking object.

A strangely shaped object with only two wheels stands steadily in the center of the workshop.

{Original World: What exactly is that thing? It looks so strange.}

{Original World: Just two wheels? Is this some kind of handcart? But if it's a cart, why are the wheels one in front of the other?}

The people of the original world were completely baffled and couldn't understand the design at all.

In their conventional understanding, two wheels must be placed side by side horizontally in order for a mule or horse to pull it forward.

But what use are these two wheels, arranged one in front of the other?

Does it mean we can only move forward by being pushed by others?

But if it really relies on people to push, then the back of the vehicle should be widened so that it can be loaded and hauled.

{New World: Hehehe, you guys don't understand, do you? Just wait a moment and you'll see how it works.}

{New World: When we first saw this thing, we were exactly like you are now, full of questions. But once you see how useful it is, you'll understand just how ingenious this invention truly is!}

The people of the new world were all keeping their stories a secret, which only made the people of the original world more anxious and completely baffled.

This oddly shaped vehicle has another unique design feature: the two wheels do not share the same axle; in other words, each wheel has its own independent axle.

This design is simply too bizarre.

{Original World: What kind of treasure is it? Why are you being so mysterious?}

{New World: Let me give you a heads-up, this thing is called a bicycle, just like the name suggests—a vehicle that can move forward on its own!}

{New World: With this thing, we'll never need mules or horses for long journeys again! Even traveling a hundred miles a day will be a piece of cake!}

{Original World: What?! Traveling a hundred miles a day?! All with such an insignificant little gadget?!}

{New World: That's right! With this little gadget, one person and one bicycle can easily travel a hundred miles a day, and it doesn't take much effort at all.}

{Original World: This is too far-fetched, I absolutely don't believe it.}

{New World: Believe it or not, it's up to you. Soon you'll see for yourself how powerful this thing is!}

-

"So this is the finished product."

Zhu Duo looked at the finished bicycle in front of him. All the parts were assembled perfectly, without missing a single one.

The researcher next to him nodded in agreement, "Yes, boss, it's made exactly according to the blueprints and material requirements you provided. This is the final product."

"But boss, how exactly do I use this thing?"

The researchers were completely puzzled and baffled.

Zhu Duo chuckled upon hearing this and asked, "Haven't you tried riding them?"

"I tried it, but you can't ride on this thing at all. As soon as you get on, it tilts to both sides. Boss, you always say that before you start an experiment, you have to sort out the theory and make sure it works."

But after thinking about it for a long time, we all felt that this idea was theoretically untenable and couldn't stand on its own.

It was precisely because they had tried it themselves that the researchers' doubts deepened.

After all, this thing can't even stand still, let alone make a person sit on it and run forward.

Zhu Duo just smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "It's not that what I said is wrong, it's just that your theoretical knowledge is still too shallow."

"It's alright, these theories are hard for you to understand even if I explain them to you now, so let me demonstrate them for you myself."

From a scientific perspective, even if no one constantly adjusts the center of gravity, a bicycle can remain stable and upright while traveling at high speed. This is not some mysterious magic, but solid science, and the underlying principle involves more complex knowledge about centrifugal force.

Zhu Duo couldn't very well stand here and explain all these complex theoretical concepts to them from the beginning.

and so--

Demonstrate it personally so they can see the intricacies firsthand.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Duo lifted his long legs and sat steadily on the bicycle seat.

The car stood firmly on its side, without tipping over at all.

As you slowly apply force to the pedals, the bicycle starts moving instantly, and the speed increases rapidly.

The researchers standing nearby stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

This thing can actually move forward?

Moreover, Zhu Duo succeeded on his first try, and rode with such skill and fluency.

"This speed is much faster than an ordinary mule cart! It's even faster than a horse-drawn carriage at full speed!"

"And judging from the boss's expression, sitting on it isn't bumpy at all! It's very stable!"

Not only were the researchers on site stunned, but the people of the original world in front of the screen were also dumbfounded.

{Original World: Just two wheels, and someone can run faster than a horse-drawn carriage?!}

{Original World: They can actually walk forward without falling, and at such a fast speed! My God, how is that possible?}

{Original World: With this speed, traveling a hundred miles a day is indeed not difficult at all. And judging from Zhu Duo's appearance, he rides with ease, without putting in the slightest effort!}

{Original World: This design is amazing! It makes me so envious!}

{New World: See? That's how you ride a bicycle, and that's not all.}

In the picture—

After riding his bicycle around the workshop a few times, Zhu Duo surprisingly let go of both hands and controlled the bicycle by adjusting his body weight, looking relaxed and carefree.

Finally, with a clean and decisive tail swing, he came to a steady stop in front of the group of researchers.

"Now you know how to ride this thing, right? This bicycle is actually very easy to learn, and once you learn it, you'll never forget it for the rest of your life."

"With bicycles, it will be much more convenient for people to travel long distances in the future."

"No longer will ordinary people be confined to their own towns and villages their entire lives, never even having been to the county seat."

"Moreover, as people travel faster and over a wider area, many things in the world will undergo tremendous changes."

"However, before bicycles can truly become common in every household, there is one crucial thing that must be resolved first."

"What exactly happened?"

The researchers around immediately pressed him with questions.

Zhu Duo's gaze was intense, and his tone was extremely firm as he said, "Build roads first!"

"But boss, how exactly do I use this thing?"

The researchers were completely puzzled and baffled.

Zhu Duo chuckled upon hearing this and asked, "Haven't you tried riding them?"

"I tried it, but you can't ride on this thing at all. As soon as you get on, it tilts to both sides. Boss, you always say that before you start an experiment, you have to sort out the theory and make sure it works."
